DIY Homemade BBQ Barrel

Summer will be here soon, and everyone will be ready to have a barbecue in the backyard. Don’t worry if you do not have a BBQ, you still have time to build this diy homemade BBQ barrel.

I have seen a lot bbq designs before, but I really like this one it actually looks like one that you would purchase from the store. It does not look very difficult to build, especially if you know how to use your tools.

Here’s What You’ll Need:

55 gallon barrel

grinder

old chain link fence post

carriage bolts

plywood

stainless brackets and hinges

lower wire rack

plain wooden dowel

air vents

temperature gauge

high heat resistant pant (optional)

It will make things so much easier for you if you get a food grade barrel instead of one used to store toxic chemicals or oil. Regardless, the first thing you should do is clean your barrel.

I think we would make ours less portable, and perhaps instead of the post legs build a brick structure that is more stable but less portable. Otherwise happy grilling! 🙂
